England head coach Brendon McCullum said captain Ben Stokes will be "hurting" after the 2-1 Test series defeat against Pakistan.
The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has informed that their Test captain Ben Stokes is on track for the upcoming tour of Pakistan, which is set to begin in 12 days with the first Test of the three-match series at Multan.
England Test skipper Ben Stokes will have a scan on his hamstring injury next week ahead of the first Test in Pakistan, says a report.
England's ICC Men's T20 World Cup defence starts against Scotland on June 4 at the Kensington Oval in Barbados. They will then play group matches against Australia, Oman, and Namibia in Barbados and Antigua before qualification for the Super 8s and knockouts.
It's true, as this series has shown, that England has lost, but rather that a "Baz Ball Era" has been lost.
The 47-year-old further said that he rates Stokes very highly and his impact on the field is a major one.
Stokes also stated that he will try to pick brains of some of the more experienced players in the team to help him on the field.
Pope also stated that everyone in the team is fit and is in a good place mentally.
"Generally, what Ben does is a bit like Virat," the former England skipper stated.
Ben Stokes himself had assured that captaincy would not bring any change in his approach to the game and all he will try to do is to make a positive impact.
